*Sam Minn?e - Silverstripe**
**9am Monday 21st October*
Sam Minn?e, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of SilverStripe, has
shaped the SilverStripe Suite and is part of its success story as an
internationally respected Open Source CMS.
Prior to being appointed CEO in April 2011, Sam was SilverStripe's Chief
Technology Officer for several years, since the company's humble

more enjoyable to use. His focus is on applying modern web development
techniques to building software that enables the creation of technically
complex websites and applications.
Sam has a BA in Computing and Philosophy from Victoria University. When
he's not at work, he enjoys anything from a good book (shameless sci-fi
fan!) to the next Drum'n'bass gig.

Subject: [Brisbane-pm] Conference promotion email to this list
Message-ID:
Hi Brisbane Perl Mongers,
I'm the list administrator for brisbane-pm at pm.org.
As a general practice, I've been allowing mail to this list promoting
relevant conferences such as OSDC and Ruxcon. This is usually manual -
even if I whitelist the promoters, their bulk email practices usually
trigger some other rule that forces the mail to require approval
anyway. That's a roundabout way of saying I have some ongoing
visibility of this and therefore (usually) will think about it before
hitting "Accept".
It occurs to me that while I see this as a value-add for the list
(there is, after all, negligible other traffic at this time), others
may see it as spam. Does anyone have strong feelings either way?
I notice that these emails seem to get classified as "Promotions" in
the new gmail anyhow, so perhaps even if people aren't interested it's
unlikely to be that much of a bother.
Cheers,
Damian

I'm not sure what the focus of Ruxcon is, but OSDC is the second most
important regular Perl conference event. In that respect, I believe it
has to be announced on the list.
